Extra Questions

Question 1

Explain which wave would have more energy when comparing amplitude.

Answer 1

Amplitude is the distance from the restline to the trough or crest. Waves with big or tall amplitude have higher energy. Waves with shorter amplitudes have less energy.

Question 2

Explain how an electromagnetic wave is made.

Answer 2

Electromagnetic waves are made of electricity and magitism. An EM wave is made when energy is removed from an atom when electrons are forced to change its motion. This energy is EM waves.

Question 3

Why are there 7 types of waves in the EM spectrum?

Answer 3

Each carries a different amount of energy

Question 4

What are the 7 types of EM waves in order

Answer 4

Radio waves
Microwaves
Infrared waves 
Visible light
X-rays 
Gamma rays

Question 5

Explain which wave would have more energy when comparing wavelengths

Answer 5

Energy is determined by wavvelength. Waves with short wavelength have high energy. Waves with long wavelengths have low energy.
